在古巴哈瓦那的几个地方发生了人类嗜酸性脑膜脑炎，促使人们寻找鼠肺线虫A。广东，在相同的地方。在哈瓦那省的6个社区和哈瓦那市Pedro Kouri热带医学研究所的花园中收集了20只大鼠（褐家鼠）和约370只陆生软体动物（70只蛞蝓，Veronicella cubensis和约300只蜗牛，主要是Bradybaena similaris）。在12只大鼠中发现了成年肺蠕虫，并从大量合并的软体动物中回收了幼虫。对寄生虫形态和生活史的观察证实了A. cantonensis在美洲地区。[This这是美洲第一次记录这种寄生虫。
The occurrence of human eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in several localities of Havana, Cuba, prompted a search for the rat lungworm, A. cantonensis, in the same localities. Twenty rats (Rattus norvegicus) and about 370 terrestrial mollusks (70 slugs, Veronicella cubensis, and about 300 snails, mostly Bradybaena similaris) were collected in 6 communities of the Province of Havana and in the gardens of the Pedro Kouri Institute for Tropical Medicine in Havana City. Adult lungworms were found in 12 of the rats and larvae were recovered from a large number in pooled lots of the mollusks. Observations on the morphology and life history of the parasites confirmed the presence of A. cantonensis in the American region. [This is a 1st record of this parasite for the Americas.].
